Product Description

Required reading in Italian schools since 1886, Cuore is the Huckleberry Finn of Italy - the most read classic in the country. Presented in the form of a diary, its subject is a young boy's life in Turin following Unification in 1870. The narrator, Enrico, writes vividly of school life and the bustling city of vegetable-sellers, chimney sweeps and carpenters all around him. Like Huck Finn or Dickens, Cuore has been adapted into just about every conceivable medium - there are films, major TV series, radio adaptations, plays and comic books. It is a set text on courses from University College London to Harvard and is even a cult classic in Japan in its incarnation as an anime film. From Henry Miller, who wrote a glowing monograph on the book, to world-famous tenor Andrea Bocelli, who wrote a song about it, this simple tale of childhood has inspired all kinds of people and continues to do so today.

Il diario di Enrico, un bimbo torinese di terza elementare, ci conduce per mano giorno dopo giorno attraverso le diverse tappe di un anno scolastico denso di avvenimenti gioiosi e tristi. Lo scrivano fiorentino, la maestrina dalla penna rossa, il severo maestro Perboni, il buon compagno Garrone, il povero figlio del carbonaio sono tra i piccoli grandi protagonisti dell'Italia risorgimentale che in questo libro prende vita ancora oggi, a oltre cento anni dalla pubblicazione. Straordinarie storie di eroismi quotidiani capaci di imprimersi nel cuore dei lettori odierni come di quelli di un secolo fa, lasciando un ricordo indelebile. Età di lettura: da 11 anni.
